    I wish they'd just ask if I celebrate Christmas, instead of getting me to pick all the options from the list each time 🙄

    I had to look up Kwanzaa, as I'd never heard of it and thought they'd made it up as an attention check question (with heartfelt apologies to anyone that celebrates it) 🤣!

    It's amazing how much better I do from surveys when I actually make an effort with them 😅!
